Steps:
- In a medium skillet, combine the walnuts, maple syrup and salt. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until golden and sticky and the walnuts are completely coated and separated (about 3 to 4 minutes).
- Pour nuts onto a silpat or parchment lined pan and use a fork to separate them. Allow the nuts to cool and harden completely, (about 15 minutes). You can place the nuts in the fridge to firm them faster.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate in a medium bowl along with the coconut oil; place bowl over simmering water and stir gently until melted (or alternatively you can melt on medium in the microwave).
- Add maple syrup to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
- Transfer the candied maple walnuts to a large bowl, and pour the melted chocolate over the nuts. Stir until thoroughly coated.
- Transfer onto lined baking pan. Using two forks, separate nuts so none stick together. Return the nuts to the refrigerator until chocolate has just about set, around 10 minutes.
- Place cocoa powder into a shallow bowl or Ziploc bag. Toss the walnuts in the cocoa until well coated and sift out excess powder in a strainer.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
